	I'm missing some background here I belive. I currently have no 
intention of removing rpclib (rhnlib you mean?), etc. I'm curious
why you want to?

	Any RFE's/bugs etc for up2date need to land in bugzilla.

	I'm the primary developer of up2date. Project decisions as
to what I add/fix/spend time on/etc is based on mangement feedback based on
Bugzilla entries.

	Discussing it in email is fine, but before anything gets done,
it's going to need to land in Bugzilla so I can get it properly
prioritized.
